Star Wars: Rogue One - Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

11. Orson Krennic

Rogue One Character Ranking
Lucasfilm

The man heading up the Death Star project - or at least, he thinks he is, and wants to be the guy getting all the credit - Orson Krennic is a real Imperial careerist.

He's desperate to climb the ladder, and to show of the POWAH of his shiny new toy.

Overall, I was a bit disappointed by Orson Krennic. Ben Mendelsohn does a fine job of turning him into a snivelling mid-level employee with big ambitions, but he's not believable or threatening enough to be the main villain of the film.

NCTJ-qualified journalist. Most definitely not a racing driver. Drink too much tea; eat too much peanut butter; watch too much TV. Sadly only the latter paying off so far. A mix of wise-old man in a young man's body with a child-like wonder about him and a great otherworldly sensibility.
